The naive Tamang and Tibetan origin people are the locals of this valley. The culture and rituals of this place date back a couple of centuries.

Flowy glaciers and moraines of Dorje Lakpa, Langtang Lirung, and several peaks feed the Langtang river, which streams through the valley gorgeously.
Langtang National Park is home to the supreme Hindu god, Lord Shiva. The freshwater lakes inside Langtang valley, Gosaikunda, and Bhairav Kunda are renowned among pilgrims. Another lake, Panch Pokhari, home to five freshwater lakes, also sits at 4,200 metres in Langtang National Park.
Every year, during Janai Purnima, Hindu pilgrims visit these lakes and take a bath. People believe that bathing in these lakes purifies the soul and body. Also, most people believe that bathing in Gosaikunda Lake eradicates skin diseases.
